ClubFloyd Transcript:Darkiss 1: The Awakening by Marco VallarinoAs played on ifMUD on February 7, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each
week at a pre-arranged time, a group of
people meet online to cooperatively play
a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of
Darkiss 1: The Awakening written by Marco Vallarino.
It took twelfth place in the 2015 Interactive Fiction Competition.
You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting
IFDB.

WARNING!Below you will find a transcript of
people playing this game, and it goes without saying that
the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never
played this game, and think you might like to at some
point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead,

#ClubFloyd Discussion

Teaspoon asks, "how many people are here right now?"

Jacqueline says, "Three"

Jacqueline says, "Which is technically enough to not make it feel different than playing on one's own."

Jacqueline says, "I am fine with starting, particularly if no one has heard about his plan. He's just the one pretty regular regular."

Teaspoon says, "I'm ready to play but will defer"

Jacqueline asks, "Doug are you actually here?"

Jacqueline says, "Okay, let me correct, Teaspoon, and say that two of us are here."

Jacqueline says (to Ghogg), "Belatedly, I'd skimmed backscroll rather than looking at how long DW's been idle - 3.5 hours does not bode well."

Jacqueline says, "So I guess it'd just be you and me, Teaspoon, though perhaps Ghogg is going to watch and Doug is planning to show up at some point."

Ghogg says, "I've beaten this before, but I can watch. I am busy arranging imaginarygames entries"

Ghogg arrives, full of neither funk nor fun.

Jacqueline says, "I'm actually okay with two people if you're planning to be here at least a couple of hours."

Teaspoon says, "glad I showed up then! Because yes, I'll definitely be around that long"

Jacqueline says, "Okay, fine. Let's do this."

Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "load sleepmask darkiss"

Floyd | whom you spent exquisitely pleasant moments, slowly sucking her veins
Floyd | dry while she waited for the dark gift that would make her eternally
Floyd | young and beautiful.
Floyd |
Floyd | But you enjoyed drinking her sweet blood too much to decide to turn
Floyd | her into a vampire. Every day you ordered your minions to take care of
Floyd | her, making her recover the energy lost during the past night with
Floyd | banquets and transfusions, so that you could drink again at the
Floyd | delicious spring of her jugular, when the sun set. In order to make
Floyd | her available at all times, you had even brought her to your hideout,
Floyd | hosting her in this wooden coffin that you decorated yourself so
Floyd | beautifully.

Floyd | Stretching out your arms to receive the occult forces that you are

Floyd | in the cell. A mysterious sorcery that you didn't know before today.
Floyd | However, it seems to work well: when you finish to utter the words of
Floyd | the formula, Sabrina's ghost appears in front of you, exiting from the
Floyd | mouth of her corpse.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Oh, Martin!" exclaims the sepulchral apparition. "Have you seen what
Floyd | those bastards did to me? It was professor Anderson and his gang,
Floyd | those who already came to look for you at my village. They eventually
Floyd | found our hideout. They arrived to the camp in the morning. They were
Floyd | a lot and well-armed, your minions were taken by surprise and they
Floyd | were overpowered and slain in few hours."
Floyd |
Floyd | "I was spared only to suffer a worse fate" continues the spectre.
Floyd | "They knew who I was and said that I would have a special treatment.
Floyd | They ripped my clothes off and shaved my hair off, before whipping me
Floyd | and beating me up to allow me to 'expiate my sins'. Then they branded
Floyd | me with the vampire symbol. When they brought me here, I had gone
Floyd | through so much pain I couldn't stay on foot. Before burying me alive
Floyd | in the coffin, they forced me to attend your execution and that was
Floyd | the most horrible moment."
Floyd |
Floyd | "I tried to advise you of their coming" says Sabrina after a pause
Floyd | caused by the tension that those terrible memories still cause in her.
Floyd | "I shouted and shouted with all my breath, while we walked through the
Floyd | tunnel leading to your crypt. But you were sleeping, you couldn't wake
Floyd | up, so they killed you merciless. Now, seeing you alive again is a
Floyd | great joy for me because I'm sure that my death will be revenged

Floyd | Maybe, one day, you'll find the way to get me out of this damned

Floyd |
Floyd | Suddenly Sabrina's corpse and the coffin catch fire in front of you,

Floyd | The impossibility of seeing your image reflected in a mirror is one of
Floyd | the things that you hate most about your vampire condition. So the
Floyd | gigantic mirror that is in your way towards your freedom, to the east,
Floyd | is a horrible view to you. Your persecutors thought of everything to
Floyd | keep you imprisoned in your own hideout. The mirror is too large to be

Floyd | Praseidimio stares at the mirror uncertain. Being near him you see

Floyd | mirror, as it was for you when you were at the top of your strength.
Floyd |
Floyd | At last, acknowledging that it's a problem too difficult to solve for
Floyd | a vampire in such a bad condition, the demon agrees to grant your

Floyd | breaks it, scattering its small fragments on the floor.

Floyd | your real intention is. She tries to wiggle out from your hug, but
Floyd | your grip is too strong and there's nobody that can hear her screams

Floyd |
Floyd | Biting her is a great pleasure. When her blood finally flows down into

Jacqueline | Giordano Bruno (Italian: [dʒorˈdano ˈbruno]; Latin: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus; 1548 – 17 February 1600), born Filippo Bruno, was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and astrologer.[3] He is celebrated for his cosmological theories, which went even further than the then novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were just distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets and raised the possibility that these planets could even foster life of their own (a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism). He also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could have no celestial body at its "center".

Floyd | you have to find some fuel and, obviously, a fire.

Floyd | Protected by the curse received from Lilith, you easily overcome the
Floyd | white cross painted on the floor and proceed to east, followed by
Floyd | Praseidimio.
Floyd |
Floyd | CorridorFloyd | Beyond the cross drawn on the floor to impede your passage, there is a
Floyd | narrow corridor that goes from west to east. It connects the bats room
Floyd | with the stone steps that should lead out of your hideout, towards the
Floyd | dark maze of caves that hides its entry. On the floor, the ceiling and
Floyd | the walls, you can see many other magic symbols. They have been drawn
Floyd | to avoid your escape, but their effect on you is nullified by Lilith's
Floyd | curse.
Floyd |
Floyd | Praseidimio is at your side, ready to give his contribution to the
Floyd | triumph of evil over good.
Floyd |
Floyd | The impossibility of seeing your image reflected in a mirror is one of
Floyd | the things that you hate most about your vampire condition. So the
Floyd | gigantic mirror that is in your way towards your freedom, to the east,
Floyd | is a horrible view to you. Your persecutors thought of everything to
Floyd | keep you imprisoned in your own hideout. The mirror is too large to be
Floyd | covered, bypassed or climbed upon, so you have to find a way to
Floyd | destroy it, if you want to leave the hideout.

Floyd | Praseidimio stares at the mirror uncertain. Being near him you see
Floyd | that his image too isn't reflected but he doesn't seem to care about
Floyd | it. Probably a small gesture would be enough for him to break the
Floyd | mirror, as it was for you when you were at the top of your strength.
Floyd |
Floyd | At last, acknowledging that it's a problem too difficult to solve for
Floyd | a vampire in such a bad condition, the demon agrees to grant your
Floyd | wish. He points one of his shapeless excrescences to the mirror and
Floyd | breaks it, scattering its small fragments on the floor.
Floyd |
Floyd | "You've been satisfied" says Praseidimio, before disappearing in a
Floyd | cloud of red smoke. "Now go on with your revenge. And may the red sun
Floyd | of Valmar shine on your dark nights of vampire!"

Floyd | CaveFloyd | Through a twisty maze of tunnels, you've reached the cave that leads
Floyd | out of mountain bowels, to the east. Just another effort and you'll be
Floyd | free to go to Lilith at the Yoshiwara Club and accomplish your
Floyd | revenge. However, to the west you can return to the dark gallery that
Floyd | takes to your hideout.

Floyd | A big black wolf stands between you and the exit.

Floyd | Mountain slopeFloyd | Outside the cave, every sense of yours is assaulted by the garlic
Floyd | flowers planted all around the entrance. A new attempt to block your
Floyd | escape from the mountain bowels, to keep you from making the world
Floyd | your kingdom of terror again.
Floyd |
Floyd | Luckily the mask you are wearing has such a strong smell of blood that
Floyd | it attenuates the stench of garlic, allowing you to stay outside the
Floyd | cave, near the flowers. However, to continue your escape you must find
Floyd | the way to destroy the field which surrounds you.

Floyd | > BURN GARLICFloyd |
Floyd | With your rudimentary torch, you set fire to the garlic field. The
Floyd | sight of the flowers burning is wonderful and soon the stink that
Floyd | prevented you from leaving the cave fades away, covered by the acrid
Floyd | smell of the fire and by the scent of your victory which gets closer.
Floyd |
Floyd | Delimited by the scree slope of the mountain, the fire quickly dies
Floyd | after destroying the field. The road to the freedom seems to be clear,
Floyd | but in such a bad condition you can't go far. You're still too weak to
Floyd | turn into a bat and fly away. Moreover, outside your hideout you won't
Floyd | have any protection, because you no longer know anyone that could help
Floyd | you.
Floyd |
Floyd | While you think how to recover your energy, you see a girl arriving
Floyd | from the botton of the slope. She has blonde hair, wears a violet
Floyd | dress and she seems to come towards you, probably drawn by the smoke
Floyd | of the fire. She quickly reaches the charred field, then she notices
Floyd | your presence and stops, uncertain.

Floyd | fire, but maybe first all of all you should tell me your name."
